ok... can anyone confirm these skull kills / deaths by killing the fake bob (so far easiest bob to kill with meele and or grenades seeing as I've never witness it "poof").
Second for the counting up your kills... many of us have played campaign too much for this, making it much more difficult, also you have to stimulate a skull kill / death which may take a while. Great in theory, but I wont be the one to have a pen and paper to check off how I die every time and to add up totals.
Third for the video for the achievement, I don't think its unlock able on easy if you are playing on easy because i attempted to do the same today and I finally got it on my 4th try on normal after around 30 deaths of it on easy.

oooo NEW INFO ABOUT SKULL DEATH :D its on the last "lone wolf" i think you cant kill with it because its the part were the game ends, if your on co-op you have to be the last to die, i just looked at my game history and i got one for each time i died last in co-op and died in solo :P hope that helps


if you want to confirm it go into solo and let them kill u with out you killing them, there will be 1 death and it will be skull

Are you going to play with Boo again?

Beat.

You son of a -blam!-.

The most common skull deaths are on the last mission and the 8th mission. There are also deaths on the 10th mission, the 7th mission, and a kill on the 2nd mission. The 2nd mission kill is from killing the invisible elite.

You do NOT get a kill only from dying first or last in the last level. With 3 of us, I died last and my friend died first. Neither of us got skull deaths. However the third guy, who died second, got one.

I will try to get a video of a game where a skull death took place and put it on my file share.

Yeah, a few have been reported. It seems like they are sometimes caused by dying in space, or very strange things like that.

The deaths that have no seeming cause at the moment are deaths by the "classified: skull, and deaths by "unknown (76)". The description for it is "This weapon has been clasified" and there is no picture. The only instance of it I've seen is on the third level:

The double question mark death has something to do with space flight. So far I have only seen them on that level. I think it has to do with a death from crashing into something, like the giant ship.

A hero need not speak, for when he is gone the world will speak for him.

no I got mine on the second to last level the ?? I mean

Found a Bob on Long Night of Solace on Legendary. He was in the landing bay during the Clear the Hangar for the Pelican objective.

Has anyone noticed that during the final cutscene, it looks like a BoB is one of the Elites? The golden one on the left, whose face we do not see.

Anyone else notice the Laser on Lone wolf and the wraiths in the Backround maybe we have to kill them?

  • 09.22.2010 6:19 PM PDT

For the record I didn't mean an elite we thought was bob but is not, i mean the silver elite that counts for a bob kill on the 3rd mission while returning.

i lasted 16 minutes on easy, its insane, i dont think it you can aim a laser with all the explosions and swords in ur back, its impossible to keep going on lone wolf, i think the bob signals the end, and how ur going to die soon, i saw the bob, killed him, and had about a half a second before i got overwhelmed on easy

  • 09.22.2010 6:36 PM PDT

Is there an actual time limit for Lone Wolf? I heard somewhere that there is, could just be someone wording something weirdly. Secondly maybe they put bob in then just so you have a chance to kill him before being overwhelmed.

So I just noticed this thread and I've been thinking about how to unlock the "legendary ending". I haven't read through all 83474928742937 pages of this, so apologies if someone has already thought of this.

In the Arcade game of Marathon: Durandal, there was a Vidmaster achievement that required you to play on the hardest difficulty, "punch" all the switches, make sure no BoB was left standing, and read every terminal.

Since Bungie threw in so many references, what if you play 4-player Legendary co-op, found every data pad, killed every Bob, and hit every switch?

I'm thinking that's how you unlock the special ending, there's too many references to Durandal for it not to mean something, right?

  • 09.22.2010 7:37 PM PDT

That is essentially the main theory that people are investigating at the moment.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Weird, I just killed my first BoB, and yet it says I killed two of them.

Only real men drive mustangs

Don't know if this has been found yet. Was on the sniper mission with jun and found a hidden room with a console. Couldn't get it to do anything. Also, watch what the light does at the end of the video.

great find1 pretty cool

i was woundering has any one looked around during the reach racer? theator mode or just walked around could have switches that were not there until race started? i personaly havnt done the race but i was just woundering

  • 09.22.2010 8:22 PM PDT

Has anyone tried getting all the data pads in order (1-9 on one playthrough, and 10-19 on another)? If someone has then I won't bother trying to see if it has some effect, but if not then I'll do it soon to see if it does.

  • 09.22.2010 9:13 PM PDT

I am Jack's wasted life...

Guys I just wanna say, stop and think for a second. Do we really believe Bungie would go through this much trouble to hide the ending. I want to and do believe in a legendary ending, but how do we not know they wont just tell us? I doubt the bobs are for anything other than a medal and the switches are probably just easter eggs and the data pads (maybe with some secret messages) are just probably for info. I dont know maybe it's time to look elsewhere for the ending. Or maybe *gulp* (dare I say it)...give up? Maybe Bungie got *gulp*...lazy? I dont know. Whoever said that some hacker ruined the IWHBYD skull, how would anyone else have found that though? It was insane? Was there even a pattern? One last thing though, has anyone tried getting all the achievements or completing all commendations? I know it's another long shot but...I dont know...

You obviously don't know Bungie very well :P
If they went through the trouble of putting characters you had to kill in Marathon for a Vidmaster... Well, I'm pretty sure there is more than a medal involved. And then the swithces as well? To many coincidences for it to be any other way.
